How To "Grow" New Supply Of Nickel For EV Batteries
22 Sep 2024 | Abstracted from CleanTechnica
"Metalplant is deploying an iteration of a well known hyperaccumulator native to Albania related to Odontarrhena chalcidica, a shrublike plant with copious yellow flowers
"...plants grow on high-pH, metalliferous soils and absorb over 100 times the amounts of nickel in their roots, stems and foliage, compared to non-hyperaccumulating plants
"...its Odontarrhena chalcidica blows past the 1% mark, yielding concentrations up to 2%. That's on par with the nickel concentration in conventional ores."
